Camus wrote extensive essays about happiness and how to be happy. Moreover, he stated in L'Envers et l'Endroit (Betwixt and Between) that even on the night he discovered he had tuberculosis he was not even desperate, he was probably sad, but he did not give up his will to live. He wasn't exactly melancholic, though he wasn't a worm either. Catherine Camus ―his daughter― described it as follows: "He was very handsome and had the attitude that unimportant things didn't bother him, what we would call 'cool' today… He never punished us if we did something wrong, he would always ask why we had done it and what we were thinking. This was complicated for a child, a smack would have been easier, but it wasn't his way. What remains with me is his love of life and love for other human beings." From the above, several things about him can be inferred. And among those things is the marked Fi Dom from him; which would explain why he never punished his children ―or because it was not common for him to do so― and the fact that he built a kind of "secular morality" that preached honesty, tolerance, solidarity, fidelity and the fight against any injustice, in fact, he held that all political action must be accompanied by solid and firm morality. He developed a philosophy that took for granted that life as such has no goals or meaning as such, the human being seeks them by himself or tries to achieve them through, for example, religion or simply stops his search and admits the absence of a sense in it or what Camus called "the simple acceptance of the absurd" (Te Inf). In my opinion, Camus is one of the best philosophers to study, even though I do not agree with some of his ideas.
